This weeks Fave Five are as broad as the Rio Grande, minus the donkey poop smell. They mesh lyrical, vocal and coveral (is that a word) prowess to makea list of five songs that I can’t get enough of a the moment.

The first three are a bit lesser knowns, the reason for which I have NO idea. The leader of the pack is A Fine Frenzy with the pop dripping “Electric Twist,” from her newest release “Bomb in a Birdcage.” Hot on her heels is Islands with “vapours,” which is an indie scoop of clever goodness. Closely behind is Hockey’s equally indie funk track “Song Away.”

The couple of jingles bringing up the caboose are Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind” — you may remeber from Sunday’s VMA’s — and finally the cast of Fox’s new brilliant show “Glee” with a cheeky rendition of Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It.”

Damn, that was like the introductions in a very weird homeroom class. Take a listen to all five below.
